EU refuses to negotiate the backstop
You can tell that the EU are wavering here, the key is in the nuances which you can discern in the flat refusal to negotiate.

Car parts manufacturers announce plans to close factories in the UK
French tyremaker Michelin announced plans to close its factory in Dundee in 2020, nearly 50 years after it opened and where 845 people are employed. It blamed dwindling demand for smaller tyres. It said the decision was unrelated to the Brexit vote.
At Schaeffler’s plant in Plymouth, a workforce of 350 people makes bearings and machine parts for the firm’s industrial division as well as the aerospace and defence industries.
At Llanelli, about 220 people are employed to make mechanical parts and bearings for the major car manufacturers and other industrial suppliers. The company said it would relocate production from the two UK factories to existing plants in the US, China, South Korea and Germany.
1 out of 2 ain't bad.
Also is it cheaper to import to Europe from the US, China and South Korea?Comment

Originally posted by Yorkie62 View PostThe UK is a member, in it own right, of the WTO and has been since 1995. Additionally it is also a member by virtue of being in the EU. But as a member of the WTO its membership will not cease when the UK leaves the EU.
All Members of the WTO must have a schedule of commitments related to the terms of market access for their trading partners. In the case of Britain, the country does not have an independent schedule but as part of the European Union, it has abided by the terms of the common EU schedule. After Brexit the British will need to have an independent schedule.
What they have formally proposed is to mirror the existing EU schedule with respect to market access for goods and services. What may be more difficult is determining how Britain and the EU share existing tariff rate quotas (TRQs) for imports of agricultural products. Britain and the EU have proposed a system of sharing these quotas which have to date not been acceptable to several key WTO members so negotiations will be required here.
There will also be negotiations required for Britain to join the Government Procurement Agreement (GPA). Again the British are proposing the same terms as they shared as an EU Member state. It’s difficult to say how the negotiations on TRQs and GPA may progress.
